What Does Google Bot See On Your Website?


There has been much discussion in the SEO world about how to tell what exactly the Google bot see’s when it is crawling your site.  I know that in the past many have suggested using simple text browsers like Lynx would do the trick and for the most part this was a good way to guestimate what the Google bot may view your webpage like.  However, now there is a better way.

If you are not already using the Google Webmaster Tools I highly suggest you start now.  The Google Webmaster Tools service has now released a new feature to allow webmasters like you and me to get a glimpse into the behind the scenes view of the Google search world.

Now you can actually enter any web page or domain name and have the Google Bot manually download and Display what it sees!  This is amazing if you are into search engine optimization, because now you there will be no question of what is getting indexed on your page.  You can be assured of what scripts are or are not search engine friendly because you can actually SEE what is being pulled from each page on your web site.

Of course this will be more important to people running many scripts or have many layers on their sites, if you are using a simple html page, you can pretty much see how google will see your site by loading it in a normal web browser.   However, I thought that this would come in handy for anybody that wants to know what google is really taking away from your website and trying to boost their own web site traffic and search engine standings.
